Though the digital economy will benefit those with easy access to the internet and a mobile phone, it risks alienating other groups. Vulnerable groups may not be able to afford digital tools such as devices or access to the internet and they may use cash to help them budget. Those with cognitive or visual deficiencies due to age or various disabilities may challenge the ability to use a device safely.
